The runner goes limp and says more or less do with me what you wish. Resistance is futile.I have both. A female KC, a male KC and 2 female runners. The male KC is the most likely to eat out of my hand, then the Female KC. The runners, they run like hell the other way...lol. The runners are more content when held(after I catch them) and they are defintely more agile and more likely to test things first. They are all fun to watch and they get along great. The runners are more vocal. The drake is the calmest.
